Would you just go away?
The time for patience is gone
it ran away with the stars
when you slaughtered my ideals.
Would you just go away?
The time for forgiveness is over
it's all over, snuffed out
like candle dying in the dark.
Would you
Would you
Would you
Your words echo incessantly
tormenting me with their lies
sharp little teeth bleeding me dry
my dessicated heart cries.
Would you just go away?
Slamming the door on a shuddering frame
shutting out the pity and disgust
keeping up a facade of perfection.
Would you just go away and leave me alone?
Your heart did that already,
so why are you still standing here
torturing my soul with your poison promises?
Would you
Would you
Would you
My decaying hopes upon the floor
trampled beneath your deceitful feet.
I really think you ought to go
whatever else you have to say is obsolete.
